Another Blaze.

On Sunday last between IL and l o'clock
a. m, the frame barn on the Woke property
on East Washington street, and occupied by
Theodore Walker, a drayman, was discovered
to be on fire; the fire department arrived up
on the scene promptly, but the NOW hav-
ing been filed with hay only day or SO pre-
vious, and the fact that the building was en-
tirely wrapped in flames when discovered, the
department were unable to extinguish the
fire, and in few minutes the building and
contents, together with team of horses
on which Mr.. Walker depended for liveli-
hood, lay in ashes. The origination of the
fire is mystery, No insurance.
Monday morning paper was circulated
and before noon the generous citizens of
Napoleon had subscribed sufficient amount
of IN oney to replace the loss of Mr.. Walker.

Balsley's Drug and Book Store every day, their
business must be largely increasing. This
house is making a special effort to make it
every mans best interest to patronize it.
Good goods and low prices will ever be the
motto. In the line of wall paper and window
shades, no retail house carries larger as
sortment or better variety. New styles and
new patterns are received every week which
are very attractive and beautiful. Those who
expect to have any painting done this spring
or summer will find something Of very great
interest at this house; something which is
sure to please, something which Is bound to
give satisfaction. Every person who would
save money will make il business to call at
this house and get prices before making his

WASHINGTON, AUGUST II, 1887
Az edltOrIal rarngraph appenrod In

An editorial paragraph appeared In
the Chicago MaH not long ago in which
the government Of the District of Co.
lumbia was stigmat2ed as being us bad
as that of the city of Chicago and
Cook County. where the boodlers held
high carnival until they fell into the
clutches Of grand jury and now fnd
themselves convicted fclons. The
Nal is edited by Mr.. Frank IIatto1, q
gentleman who resided in Washington
several years, held high position here
and had abundant opportunities OF
knowing the nature of our District
Government and the character of the
men intrustGd with its administration.
1t is improbable that he wrote or die.
ta'ed the paragraph in question, be.
cause he must know how utterly pre-.
posterous and ridiculous 1t Is: but the
appearance of such a shameful calumny
in one of the leading Republican news
papers of the Northwest shows the an.
imus by which certain outside news
papers are actua,ed in joining the pres.
ent crusade against the District Com.
missioners. 1t is not that they have
the slightest interest in the welfare and
prosperity of the District Of Columbia
as 10 whether we are well governed or
i'll governed, but simply that the gen.
tlemen at the head of District affairs
are appointees of President Cleveland,
and they imagine that In joining in the
hue and cry they can possibly bring
some discredit on the Administration
perhaps make 1t appear to the unin-
formed that even some members of the
Administration are involved In ques-
tionable transactions. What cares the
Chicago Mail or the Cincinnati Com.
mercial Gazette whether water taxes
here are higher or lower than they were
last year. or what the cost of laying
water mains may be? Nothing what
ever. But vague and reckless charges
are instituted against the Commis-
sioners, based upon vague and reckless
statistics or tangled and incompre.
hensible accounts Of past decade, and
forthwith these partisan bushwhackers
take up the strain, and are doing all in
their power 10 create prejudices against
the District G rnment, exaggerate
the exaggerations of the malcontents,
aud impress upon the country the idea
that the Administration is harboring a
nest of corrupt officials, if not actually
participating in the proceeds of their
corruption. We wish our local agitators
all the credit and comfort they can get
cut of these unscru pulous allies.
